They had an extremely awkward confrontation during season seven (“is there something on my face?”) and last year, Pearl recalled an off-camera moment with Ru that ‘broke her spirit’. Speaking to Johnny McGovern on Hey Qween, Pearl revealed: “We were filming a segment, just chatting, bantering together whatever, and then the camera went down for a moment. I turned to RuPaul and said, ‘Oh my god,…

How was Strictly’s first week without Michelle Visage?

admin, , , ,

Last week, we faced one of the biggest upsets in the competition when Michelle Visage was eliminated. This was the show that had to deliver. Blackpool sent many of the celebrities to dizzying heights on the leaderboard, with many of them getting their highest scores of the competition. But on the flip side, in a robbery that could perhaps eclipse that of Shangela in All Stars 3, Michelle Visage was eliminated following a performance she dedicated to the LGBTQ community. Her routine to Vogue may have captured many of her…
